Memorial Day weekend conjures variety of activities

Ah, Memorial Day weekend, the official start of summer. For many,
it’s time to fire up the barbecues and maybe get away for a little
camping or boating.
But some of the region’s business and community leaders mark their
Memorial Day holiday weekends with their own unique traditions to
kick off the summer season.
For Rich Harter, executive director of the Fort Collins Convention
and Visitors Bureau, Memorial Day weekend is synonymous with The
Bolder Boulder. Every year for the past five, Harter has race-walked
the 10K that attracts nearly 50,000 competitors annually.
